ham
Overactor's cured meat
Ham is the meat from a pig's hind leg, typically cured, smoked, or both.
A ham is also the thigh and buttock region itself—in humans or animals.
In theater and film, a ham is an actor who overacts, mugging and emoting excessively; to ham it up is to perform this way.
In radio, a ham is an amateur operator: ham radio.
